Posted July 13Jul 13 Oasis single Don’t Look Back In Anger has had a fourth chart run in the Top 40 this week.The single reached number one in 1996, then in re-entered the top forty in 2017, 2024 and 2025 in the current chart at the time of this post.
July 13Jul 13 John Lennon's 'Imagine'1975: #6 (original release)1980: #1 (posthumous chart topper)1999: #3 (re-release)2012: #18 (Olympics)
July 13Jul 13 The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris would be up there too with 4#26 in 1999#39 in 2006#3 in 2011#12 in 2013
July 13Jul 13 Looking at the current top 100:Lose Control (5 runs)The Door (5 runs)Iris (4 runs) Someone You Loved (4 run)That's So True (4 runs)Good Luck Babe (4 runs)Die With A Smile (4 runs)Most of these are in the same overall top 100 run though, not sure if that's what we're looking for here.

July 13Jul 13 Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' has had 6 runs in the top 40, although 4/6 of those were just returning for a single week due to Halloween downloads/streams (the other two of course being its original release and his death) so it's not quite fitting the spirit of the thread - if only it had been among his series of 2006 re-releases it could have had runs for 4 distinct reasons. Likewise Ray Parker Jr.'s 'Ghostbusters' has had 4 runs but 3 were for the same reason.Cannot immediately think of any others that aren't just regular seasonal returners!
July 13Jul 13 'Blinding Lights' entered (or re-entered) the Top 40 at least once per year from 2019 to 2022 inclusive, and same with 'Seventeen Going Under' from 2021 to 2024.The Stone Roses - Fools Gold entered the Top 40 in each of 1989, 1990, 1995 and 1999.
July 13Jul 13 As alluded to on SyncTube today Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' very nearly qualifies for this - #13 in 1980, #19 in 1983, #19 again in 1995 but falling just short at #46 in 2007.
July 13Jul 13 The Jam - In The City also came close, but did make the Top 50 in 4 separate years without going Top 30:1977: #401980: #401983: #472002: #36
